The month's worst miss: NDFD was 32.7°F too cool at MVH
A day-3 forecast of 38.9°F for October 8 at 18Z; the station reported 71.6°F. It is the largest temperature residual in the ledger over the last 30 days.
The forecast was issued in the 20261006T06:00Z cycle, 60 hours before valid time, and called for 38.9°F. The observation was 71.6°F — a residual of -32.7°F.
252 of the 8,164 residuals above 12°F in this window are at the same station, which is a pattern worth reading as one.
ASOS reports at :53 and the forecast is stamped on the hour, so a forecast is paired with the nearest observation within 30 minutes and otherwise left unscored. 6 rows in this window were excluded as a data defect rather than a forecast error.
